The second Lydia spoke, Connor’s face went completely blank. Up front, Aiden just about lost control of the steering wheel. Inside, he was screaming. Seriously? How did Lydia find out about that?
It all started because Connor was just too good-looking for his own good. When he visited Country Y to see his mother and uncle, that shameless Prince Theo had set his sights on him. Later, after a few drinks, Prince Theo bragged to his friends that he was going to have Connor under him… well, you know. When Connor found out, he almost beat Theo to a pulp and made absolutely sure everyone who heard about it kept their mouths shut. After that, nobody ever brought it up again.
And now? Lydia had just said it right to his face. God only knew what Connor was feeling. Was he thinking about finishing what he started with Prince Theo and making sure he never dared to cross him again?
Lydia noticed how stiff Connor had gotten and just smiled wider. “Was it you?”
Connor reached out, caught her hand, and brought it to his lips, giving her a gentle bite. “Lydia, you’re such a troublemaker.”
Prince Theo should honestly thank the heavens for being royal. If he wasn’t, he’d have been nothing but dust by now. And now he’d actually sent Damien’s family to ask the Jeffersons for help? Clearly, the last lesson hadn’t been painful enough.
“Don’t mind me, I was just talking,” Lydia said, almost teasing.
Connor kissed her fingertips again. “Let’s never talk about this again.” Just thinking about it made his skin crawl. More than that, he didn’t want Lydia to see him in a bad light. Thank goodness it was Lydia who brought it up. Anyone else, and he would’ve sent them packing to the far side of the world.
When they reached the Norwood estate, Connor greeted Cameron and the others, then left.

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
